Vogel

Low-key Vogel Ski Resort is located under Slovenia's legendary Mt Triglav, which early Slavs thought was the home of a triple-headed god. It is not one of Europe's largest ski areas, and its 13 miles (22 km) of blue and red slopes are not always guaranteed to be covered in snow, but Vogel is still a good deal with breathtaking views of the Julian Alps.

Vogel, which is a part of the Triglav national park, has a view of Lake Bohinj. Skiers may access the primarily treeless terrain that provides plenty of opportunities for off-piste exploration thanks to the contemporary cable car, which quickly transports passengers from the lakeshore to the mountains. Although there isn't much going on at night, a day excursion to the capital Ljubljana, which is only about an hour away, is quite doable.

If your guest has registered for the bus service across the Bohinj valley, your transportation charges after arrival will be zero. Nearby scenic areas Lake Bohinj (40 minutes) and ethereal Lake Bled (one hour) are both free and even more lovely when covered in snow.
